Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    The weather in Spokane has been dreary and rainy. It’s a little warmer, but still gray. so very gray. However, I am really glad that I’m not living here right now.

    I think if it snowed right now I would shoot myself.

    And, yes, I’m knocking on wood.

  • Walking on thin ice

    Now this is interesting:

    Nof used records of the Mediterranean Sea’s surface temperatures and statistical models to examine the dynamics of the Sea of Galilee, which Israelis know now as Lake Kinneret.

    The study found that a period of cooler temperatures in the area between 1,500 and 2,600 years ago could have included the decades in which Jesus lived.

    A drop in temperature below freezing could have caused ice — thick enough to support a human — to form on the surface of the freshwater lake near the western shore, Nof said. It might have been nearly impossible for distant observers to see a piece of floating ice surrounded by water

    I don’t know if it takes a genius, or a study to come to that conclusion, but there you go. You can read the whole story here:

  • Of Mt. Spokane and house hunting.

    Mt. Spokane

    We went hiking at Dishman Hills on Sunday and it was a beautiful clear day so I thought I would get a shot of Mt. Spokane.

    I apologize for my lack of posting this past week. We have been really busy lately..we are in the process of buying a house! We are in the very beginning stages right now. We just got preapproved yesterday. We already looked inside one last night, but it wasn’t what we are looking for. I will try to update our progress here, but if I’m not posting as much that is why.
